(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing new service chiefs for the country.

The governor made this known on Tuesday in Port Harcourt in a statement by Mr Paulinus Nsirim, the state Commissioner for Information and Communications.

He noted that although the appointments came late, the president should be commended for listening to the voice of the people.

The governor urged the new appointees to see their appointments as an opportunity to re-engineer the nation’s security architecture which saw tremendous challenges in the last five years.

“The new Service Chiefs should not politicise security by aligning with politicians. What the country needs now is competence and professionalism that will reduce insecurity to the barest minimum,” he stated.

Wike also noted that Nigerians were looking up to the new appointees to make the desired change.

He called on all levels of government to give the service chiefs the needed support they would require to execute their assignments.

“This is an opportunity to serve the nation and I believe that the Service Chiefs will be focused and dedicated,” he said .’NAN’
